Durand outhouse race, parade

DURANDThe town once noted as the outhouse capital of the U.S. is having a race reminiscent of its heritage. The Durand 4th of July festivities includes an Outhouse Race, and any five-person team is invited to participate. If you like to parade, youre invited to show your stuff at the Durand 4th of July celebration.

Interested musicians, equestrians, groups, floats, cars and other vehicles will step off the parade route Sunday, June 30 at 1 p.m. Ribbons and prize money will be awarded for the best in each class.

Following the parade, at approximately 3 p.m., is the outhouse race around the town square. Four contestants push/pull the outhouse while a fifth person relaxes in it. Groups can be of mixed gender and at least 12 years of age. Costumes are encouraged. Prizes will be awarded to the winners.
